How to Train Your 3rd Shot Drop Intelligently 

Quick note: the video i point up to wt the end will release this coming monday :)

You are quickly becoming one of the best instructors on RU-vid Kyle! Keep up the good work...your humor is already the unrivaled champion🎉

I enjoy how you "create" your own games and scoring to work specifically on one or two components. Keeps it fun and competitive. Great stuff!

The video editing makes all the difference in consuming your videos - keep up the great work!

Thank you for your time and posting. It is interesting, I have no problem doing 3rd shot drops in drills, but can't (didn't want to say choke) do them in a game.

Nice video. Can you make a video of the footwork and positioning of crosscourt forehand dinking? Always feel like I’m unstable on the forehand side and pop up the ball. I use a continental grip, while coupling with a soft wrist, but still have problems with the shot. Thanks.

Do you have a video on how to improve deep return on the serve?…if not please make one…..my returns doesn’t go deep…if i hit hard thrn they go out….in singles game

Kyle, Thanks for your "real world" training videos. Technique is important, but when, how, where, to actually use the technique is the essence of drilling and practicing. Keep up the good work and best of luck in your tournament play!

love the density of info in your vids

You are awesome! Help me move up several levels! I even take notes from your videos and take them to the pb courts! Keep on…keeping on! Love your stuff! 💕✌️

Understand

Enjoyed watching you at BCO. Thanks for the awesome content.

funny how you were talking about Steph but showed a video clip of Klay. I get the point though. Start slow and accurately. Then progress into the more challenging. It's easier to get faster/quicker than it is to get more accurate when working at pace.

Brilliant drill!

More apples it is! Your videos are helpful.

Nice 😊

Anyone else get the impression Danny is a heck of a player in his own right?

Great video!

Good tips Kyle - I need work on my 3rd shot drop and I hit the tape a lot but it always drops on my side :-( Kyle - PLEASE CLARIFY for ME and EVERYONE ELSE - when is the ball out on a line call? I thought I understood this from Rule 6.D.6 but when watching the Grand Rapids Beer City tournament (on youtube) this weekend, they had some great slow-mo camera coverage of balls and lines and I could not believe the way they were calling balls out (with 48% of the ball hanging over the white line) considering Rule 6.D.6. which says - "Players shall not call a ball out unless they can clearly see a space between the line and the ball as it hits the ground." So in your court pictured above, a player must clearly see a line of green (out of bounds court) between the Yellow ball and the White line. In the RU-vid Video from Beer City Grand Rapids tourney the calls are being made based on the estimated contact patch of the ball and the court surface. There is NO clearly seen Green space or Green line between the yellow ball and the white line...from any angle of viewing on those calls. What am I getting wrong, are there different rules for Pro tournaments than the USA Pickleball Official Rulebook (2023)? Or are there different rule books for the different P-ball organizations. I have no doubt your clear and concise instructions can enlighten me. Thanks in advance.

To my eye you seem to be using more of a side swing back on these 3rds compared to your last dedicate vid on 3rds? Apologize for perhaps reading too much into it.... Having a tough time being consistent with this shot 😊

I feel that instead of doing a volley after a successful third shot drop that your partner should try and smash it instead. Otherwise, how do you know if the third shot drop was good and thus, if it isn't, you learn how to adjust.
